Niners would probably have another 2 or 3 Super Bowls had he stuck around another 5-7 years


His replacement won 2 SuperBowls, 6 divison tiles and 77% of his games.

And they probably would have won four or five Super Bowls if they had hired Mike Holmgren instead.

yeah Siefert was a great replacement. The only thing that prevented the 49ers from winning more Super Bowls was other excellent teams like the Cowboys, Giants, and Packers winning the Super Bowl instead.

Seifert was not a great coach. he mostly coasted on what he had been handed. Not saying he was terrible or anything like that but I never though we ever won a game because of his coaching like i did with Bill. Although i do give George credit for loosening the reigns a little bit and being more of a players coach than Bill was which the 49ers probably benefited from somewhat.

But the major reason the 49ers couldn't get over the hump in 1990-1993 was because he was severely outclassed by Parcells and Jimmy Johnson (which never would have happened under Bill). The Niners had the most talent in football in 1990 and 1992 definitely. It wasn't until Switzer came to Dallas that the Niners won another title.
